Background

With just 17% of the SDGs on track, the UN Secretary General has emphasized that “the SDGs need a global rescue plan,” highlighting reform of the financial architecture as a “game-changer in accelerating SDG progress.” The Prime Minister of Spain expressed his support to the UN Secretary-General’s vision and that Spain will play an active role as the host of the 4th International Conference on Financing for Development. “We have an historic opportunity to reform the international financial architecture and better respond to the needs of all countries and of our people,” said the PM, stressing that “the opportunity is now.” 

Over 85 countries are using Integrated National Financing Frameworks (INFFs) to align public and private finance with SDGs. Seventeen governments have leveraged $16 billion for SDG investments, with potential impacts exceeding $32 billion. International support for INFFs is growing, endorsed by the G20 and Doha Programme of Action for Least Developed Countries. 

The INFF Facility was launched at the 2022 Financing for Development Forum to support countries developing and delivering INFFs. The Facility is a joint flagship initiative of the UNDP, DESA, UNICEF, OECD, the European Union, and the Governments of Italy, Spain and Sweden. The INFF Facility brokers technical assistance, facilitates knowledge exchange and provides access to technical guidance. 

About

The 2025 INFF Facility Partner Meeting will be hosted in Barcelona by the Government of Spain in collaboration with the regional Government of Catalonia. This two-day event will bring together partners from all sectors from the country, regional and global levels to exchange and discuss priorities for country-led INFFs beyond 2025.  

The meeting will provide an opportunity to take stock of progress made and future priorities at the country level, considering how INFFs can advance financing for social, economic and environmental priorities. It will facilitate discussion on how to deepen partnerships and collaboration to mobilize and align public and private capital behind national sustainable development priorities, and the role of the INFF Facility in this regard. And it will offer a forum to share ideas and build consensus about the commitments for 2025 and beyond that can be sought through the FfD4 outcome in Seville.
